THE MESSIER CATALOG
Mirrors and different language versions
The Messier Catalog online database of SEDS has now mirror sites
around the world. Please select your nearest mirror for fastest access.
Moreover, the Messier Catalog is being translated to different languages
(the original Messier pages are written in US English
[well, as far as I was successful as native German]).
If you would like (and have the resources) to create a mirror, or translation
to a certain language, please contact
The original SEDS Messier Catalog online database has its home on the
machine of SEDS (http://www.seds.org/),

University of Arizona:
